Erik, out of curiousity where did you find this list, and what powerlifting federation was it for?

I had no idea 6-bromo was on a list, that's bad news for me :dl:

I will have to get back to you on the exact source, but it is posted as a link by one of the federations, I think USAPL. A starting point is powerliftingwatch and their link to the feds.

Please note that I may be slightly incorrect with the 6-Bromo, as there are two banned lists, one for the Olympics at the IOC website, and the other for US powerlifting and sports. I think it is from an anature sports list.

The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 went into effect January 20, 2005. This bill added a number of “prohormone” and “prosteriods” to the already existing list of illegal anabolic steroids. All of these now illegal drugs (1-AD, 1-Testosterone, “M1T’, etc) are banned as of this January 20, 2005. For a complete list of the banned substances included in this new law, please see the following link: Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004

Note: Some “prohomones” and related compounds such as AndrosteneTRIONE, DHEA, and 7-ketoDHEA, are not currently scheduled on this new law. If at any point in time these substances get added to the list of illegal anabolic steroids, they would be considered banned substances at that time.

Growth Hormones:

Including, but not limited to Pharmaceutical HGH, HCG, and any other related compound. Oral, spray, or sublingual GH supplements.

Designer Steroids:

Including, but not limited to, Desoxymethyltestosterone (DMT) - (found in supplements such as Pheraplex, Ergomax, Halodrol, and Methyl-Plex XT), Methasterone - (found in supplements such as Superdrol, Methyl Masterdrol, and Methyl-Drol XT), and Prostanozol - (found in supplements such as Orastan-E).

Prescription Antiestrogens:

Including, but not limited to Nolvadex, Clomid, Arimidex, Letrozole, etc.

Muscle Implants and Synthol

Masking Agents:

Chemicals or drugs used for the purpose of deceiving or passing the polygraph test and anything used to attempt altering urine test results including, but not limited to Probenecid, Epitestosterone (> 200 ng/mL).

Any of the above substance founds in alternative forms available through 'experimental' or “for research purposes only” labeling.

Lifters will be tested for most or all of these drugs on the banned substance list. Lifters are responsible for any and all drugs that are put into their bodies. For a list of banned substances pleas call the IOC at 800 233- 0393.

Testing methods include urinalysis and/or lie detection. We will test lifters in and out of contest and by random choice of the meet directors and/or WNPF officials. If a lifter refuses a test a lifetime ban will be enforced. If a lifter fails a drug test exam a three year ban will be enforced. All tests will be considered final results. Some lifters will be tested by out of meet METHODS with no notice drug test. If a lifter does not attend an out of meet drug exam they could be banned for life. If a lifter is called for testing at a meet and do not attend they will be suspended for life.

I know it seems like everything that gets good reviews, is ban. I am scared to take supplements cause I think some crazy way, that I will fail a drug test. I just stick to protien, fish oils, creatine, and vitamins. Mark
